ML Engraving’s headquarters is set in Onore, at the foot of the Orobie Pre-Alps, not far from Bergamo. Our team of experts in digital design and laser technology applied to moulds is ready to welcome you.
Our work entails engraving metal moulds to produce objects in plastic, rubber, silicon and even glass: they arrive smooth and we return them with the finishings you want.

Our goal is to make your products unique and distinctive, and even optimise production. We are considered surface gurus because we enhance them with cutting edge textures, logos, lettering and accurate customisation.
80 professionals
We are a multi-talented team which includes laser experts, texture designers, digital designers, digital artists and cad/cam designers.
All industrial sectors
Our engraving services are suitable for moulds used for plastic, rubber and silicon. But also, the die casting and precision mechanics sectors.
Research & Development
We explore innovative technologies and solutions. Our R&D department has already developed 3 patents, 8 European projects and cutting edge engraving protocols.
Thanks to the DRE® work process, our digital soul, we guarantee the correspondence between virtual preview and moulded product. This also means we are able to anticipate critical moulding issues, making the entire production process easier.
In addition to 20 constantly operating laser machines, we possess departments dedicated to sand blasting and laser etching operations, where we test hybrid solutions. Our ecosystem also includes sampling and prototyping services, as well as mould repairing and preparation treatments.
Finally, when the job is completed, our logistics department will handle shipment of your carefully packaged moulds.
